427B.21 APPLICATION FOR CREDIT BY UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK OWNER OR OPERATOR -- APPROVAL BY COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OR CITY COUNCIL. An application shall be filed by an owner of a small business that owns or operates an underground storage tank for each property for which a credit is sought. Applications shall be filed with the respective county board of supervisors or the city council by September 30 of the year following the calendar year in which a cost of remedial action was paid by the owner or operator. Small business owners receiving credits shall file applications for renewal of the credit by September 30 of each year. A credit may be renewed only if title to the credited property remains in the name of the person or entity originally receiving the credit. In reviewing the applications, the board of supervisors or city council shall consider whether granting the credit would serve a public purpose. Upon approval of the application by the board of supervisors, and after the applicant has paid any property taxes due, the board shall direct the county treasurer to issue a warrant to the small business owner in the amount of the credit granted. Upon approval of the application by the city council, and after the applicant has paid any property taxes due, the council shall direct the city clerk to issue a warrant to the small business owner in the amount of the credit granted. Applications for credit shall be made on forms prescribed by the director of revenue and shall contain information pertaining to the nature of the release, the total cost of corrective action, the actual portion of the costs paid by the small business owner and for which the owner was not reimbursed from any other source, the small business owner's income tax form from the most recent tax year, and other information deemed necessary by the director.          Section History: Recent Form 89 Acts, ch 131, §31; 2003 Acts, ch 145, §286
